BUSINESSES in York will get a free helping hand to open the doors to success, thanks to accountants and business advisers, Garbutt & Elliot.

A series of free-of-charge advice clinics, titled Garbutt & Elliott Opens Doors, is being staged by the company this Spring.

The Open Doors advice clinics at the firm's offices at Monkgate House in Monkgate, York, aim to help business people find the answers to a wide range of financial, business and accounting problems.

Tony Tarpey, Garbutt & Elliott's marketing manager, who will man the reception for the advice clinics, says: "We know from experience just how busy business people are. Business life is so fast-moving that it is very often difficult to attend seminars and networking events in working hours. Our clinics, being held between 5.30pm and 8pm on one Tuesday night per month, aim to make top-level assistance available just by dropping into our office. All our meeting rooms will be booked, with senior staff and directors standing by to assist."

The first advice clinic will be held on Tuesday, April 16, with others in the spring programme set for Tuesday, May 14 and Tuesday, June 11. For further details, contact Tony Tarpey on 01904 341200.
